## Background and Objective : An expression describing the ablation crater shape as a function of lateral fluence distribution has been derived in a recent paper by Ostertag et al. [Lasers Surg Med 1997; 21:384-394]. Study Design/Materials and Methods: The ablation model presented therein is improv

## Background and objective: Short-pulse solid-state lasers have recently received much attention as new coherent light sources for medical applications, but steady transmission of their high-energy output pulses through a solid quartz fiber is difficult because of the onset of laser-induced breakd
Ablation efficiency and residual thermal damage produced by pulsed holmium laser radiation were investigated in vitro for bovine mitral valves and human calcified and noncalcified cardiac valves. Low-OH quartz fibers (200 and 600 pm core diameter) were used in direct contact perpendicular to the spe
To assess the feasibility of intra-arterial tissue ablation by Holmium:YSGG laser pulses (2.1 pm) in a noncontact mode, the transmission of the laser pulses through saline and blood was measured. The temporal interaction between the 500 p s laser pulse and saline at the fiber tip was investigated wi
## Background and objective: The hard and resistant structure of the nail plate forms a natural barrier that limits the penetration of topical drugs. to overcome this barrier, the use of pulsed laser systems has been suggested. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of four laser syst
